\"\"<\/div>\n

Senator Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., had an ironic close call while giving a speech on train safety.<\/p>\n

While conducting a press conference, Blumenthal found out that he was entirely too close to the tracks when a train came blowing through just feet from where he was standing.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n

\n

This clip perfectly embodies the uselessness of so many of our politicians.<\/p>\n

Senator Blumenthal (from my home state of Connecticut), holds a press conference on train safety.<\/p>\n

Blumenthal breaks the rules, walks too close to the edge, and almost gets hit by a train. \"\ud83e\udd23\" pic.twitter.com\/w34I9fcFYs<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSafety, as you know, is paramount,\u201d he says, moments before his \u201cvery, very close call\u201d with the train. A news report on the incident accuses him of standing \u201ctoo far over\u201d on the yellow line, which is a safety measure that exists to warn riders away from the edge.<\/p>\n

While the entire event may have undermined his speech, it gave X users plenty to talk about:<\/p>\n

\n

The senator got closer to danger in a train station than his imaginary stint in Vietnam<\/p>\n

In his defense, he likely hasn\u2019t had any time around trains, as he probably thinks they are for \u201cthe poors\u201d.<\/p>\n

You should just call him \u201cdick\u201d we will all know who you\u2019re talking about? And if he\u2019s reelected we will use that term for the people who keep voting for this POS?<\/p>\n

These r the people with zero common sense or awareness running our country \"\ud83d\ude44\" He obviously has NEVER had to commute & lacks basic safety knowledge about being so close on the yellow bumps! Retire already @SenBlumenthal<\/a> \"\ud83d\ude18\"<\/p>\n

Notice this didn\u2019t really faze \u201cDa Nang Dick,\u201d right? He had seen plenty of action when he \u201cserved in Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was just a minor distraction to him, sort of like a buzzing mosquito amongst the damp jungles of South Asia with the smell of napalm in the air.<\/p>\n
